My name is Julie and I joined The Goslings Preschool in September 2021. I love working with children and being part of their journey, to support and help them to achieve their goals before starting school. I have worked in preschool and school settings for the last 13 years; 10 years in a preschool, 5 of which I was Deputy Manager, and 2 years in a special school supporting children with behaviour and learning difficulties. I have two boys aged 18 and 16; we are all involved and help at a local Scout group, which I have done for a long time, and thoroughly enjoy giving up my free time to support children aged 10-18 to have some amazing opportunities and to gain some very valuable life experiences.
I played cricket for the England Ladies Cricket Team when I was younger and also played for several years in local cricket, taking a lot of stick for being the only woman on the pitch (but I can take it). I have also played hockey since I was 12 and continue to do that, to keep me fit and enable me to keep up with all the little ones at work.
Working with your children is not a job, it's a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of their journey.

Level 3 Early Years SENCO
Hi! My name is Michelle and I've worked at The Goslings for 20 years, since February 2003. In that time I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of the new children, getting to know their individual characters and helping them to learn and develop during their time with us.
I love messy play and being outdoors, and try to encourage confidence around minibeasts of all kinds. I also incorporate my love of yoga into the morning register, using fun stretches to promote concentration and gross motor skills. I believe in fostering creativity and imagination wherever possible, and I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hi, I am Jane. I live in Winterley with my family. I have three children, a son at high school and two daughters at primary school. All three of my children attended The Goslings Preschool and enjoyed their time there, making friendships that are still going strong today.
In my spare time I love being outside walking or gardening. I also play a lot of tennis, playing in the local league and at any opportunity I get!

Hi, my name is Mandy and I've been working at The Goslings since March 2021. I have two teenage girls who both attend Sandbach High School. My girls both went to The Goslings and they have such fond memories of their time there.
It is such a privilege to watch and help your children grow and develop over their time at The Goslings. I love to hear the children laugh and to see them having fun. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family, friends, walk my dog and travel. I love penguins and the ocean.
